Description:
Purchased from eBay May 2026. Well worn and case missing hamdle. Platen and feed rollers in amazing condition, but rubber feet are mis-shapen and rigid.
Have removed panels / casing, removed 90 years of plaque,lightly cleaned mechanisms, adjusted a few errant bars and changed the ribbon.
Now fully operational and working like new.
Will give her "teeth" a good clean next to make every character strike a little clearer, and source new boots for her feet. A beautiful, characterful and chirpy little machine. Really please with her and how she writes.

Amateur collector and restorer of abandoned and neglected portables (Bar-let 2, Corona 3, Corona 4, Silver Reed, Remington Travel Riter, Maritsa 30) nursing them back to full health and making them feel loved and useful again. Loving the Typewriter Database!
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Remington Compact Portable on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Remington Serial Number page and the Remington Compact Portable By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
